I absolutely loved the first half of the book. Science, danger, mystery. It was all very refreshing and intriguing. But then when they actually got to Atlantis, I got disinterested. It all just steadily went downhill from there. It still wasn't awful, it just wasn't as good as I was hoping. It all ended surprisingly neat and happy. In August I was strolling in Cascais to buy my usual Santini Ice-Cream, when I went into the Galileu Bookshop, which specializes in vintage book of all kinds. In a bookstand outside the bookshop there were lots of SF books asking to be browsed. Among lots of crap, there was this rarity (also crap but read on). I've got almost of the books beloging to the Del Rey/Ballantine bookline, bought a long time ago. This one was missing in my Del Rey collection. For 2.20 euros it was quickly ratified LOL. I've read almost all of Lester Del Rey books. Unfortunatelly this one is one of the worst, being "Runaway Robot" and "Marooned on Mars" probably two of the best in my mind. This one is an over the top novel that left no room for believability. I won't dwell on the writing itself. It'd be out of context with today's writings standards. For me the pay-off came from a different direction: I like reading Vintage SF... Enough said." sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

No exit. It was an official test run, nothing dangerous, nothing unplanned. Just a chance to show the brass and the press how the new atomic sub Triton took the depths. Don Miller was thrilled to be aboard. It was the chance of a lifetime, and he wouldn't have missed it for the world. But at 500 fathoms, there was trouble with the tanks; at 700, there was even more, and there was a limit to the pressure even a sub like the Triton could take. Suddenly it became obvious that things weer not happening accidentally, that at a depth never before possible for a man to reach, the Triton was being sabotaged! - Back cover.
